	RR layout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In contrast to the MR layout, however, the center of gravity of the engine itself is actually past the rear axle.
		Most manufacturers have abandoned the RR layout apart from Porsche who has gradually developed their design with improvements to the suspension as well as electronic aids to reduce the shortcomings of the layout to acceptable levels.
		Early cars using the RR layout include the Tucker, the Volkswagen Beetle, the Porsche 911 and the innovative Chevrolet Corvair.

	MR layout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In automobile design, an MR or Mid-engine, Rear wheel drive layout is one in which the rear wheels are driven by an engine placed just in front of them, behind the passenger compartment.
		In contrast to the rear-engined RR layout the center of gravity of the engine is in front of the rear axle.
		This layout is typically chosen for its near-ideal weight distribution (the heaviest component is near the center of the car, making the main component of its moment of inertia relatively low).

	FR layout - WOI Encyclopedia Italia
		In Automobile design, an FR, or Front-engine, Rear wheel drive means a layout where the engine is in the front of the vehicle and drive wheels at the rear.
		The layout is still more suitable than front-wheel drive for engine outputs of more than about 150bhp, as the weight transference during acceleration loads the rear wheels and increases grip.
		The FM layout is based on the FR layout.

		In contrast with the FR layout, the FF layout eliminates the central tunnel to accomodate a driveshaft to the rear wheels.
		Early cars using the RR layout include the Tucker, the Volkswagen Beetle, and the Porsche 911.

	The George Baustert Gallery
		The High-Low-Belt RR is folded dog bone, over and under single track layout, with passing sidings at each end and a common passing siding in the center area, that can be used as a yard lead in either direction, at either end of the dog bone.
		The scenic effects of the layouts, such as bridges, mountains, tunnels, etc. are lost when applied to the TPS and are usually applied in an effort to justify what are often mundane variations of basic loops.
		This layout is actually smaller than the prototype version, which is 5' x 9', rather than 4' x 8' and this one has a lot more operation, including a passenger train that parks in the front center area, on both sides of the passenger platform, while the engine is refueled at the center servicing area.

	Trains.com - NEW LAYOUT CONSTRUCTION IDEA - Anyone know of a ceiling suspended layout?
		While I have never build such a layout, it would seem to be that such a layout would have to have benchwork a little more sturdy than one is used too as the benchwork would be subjected to two different sets of forces - one when resting in the operating position and one when lifted.
		In stead of having the cable attached to the layout why not have 4 8' beams of say 6x2s running under the layout attached to the cables, this will prevent sagging as the layout wieght distribution will be even through the center of the layout as it will be supported be the beams.
		As to keepin the layout level during up/down + storage, maybe use chains fom each attachment point meeting at a common ring in the center so that when taught it forms a kind of pyramid effect over the layout, from this the one cable would go to the pully/winch, maybe a second for conterwieght.

		The freelanced five-stall roundhouse (unusual on O-Scale home layouts) also was scratch-built by the president using scrap materials; plans were developed from old railroad photographs (pun intended), and some of the “products” used in its construction might be “unseemly” enough to cause proper young girls to blush - or others to laugh.

	Layout
		The layout was begun first by building the room, or addition on the house.
		The design stage took maybe a year. I wanted as few duck-unders as possible, and then they needed to be at an acceptable height. The actual design was done on ¼ “ graph paper. The grades, switches, isle ways, etc.
		The loops use code 100 flex track and Peco switches. Why was I sick enough to handlay track on a large layout? It’s because it looks better and the switches fit any where you want in any size. It makes you work though. Bad track show up quickly gauging problems, frogs, guardrails, etc.
